The S-beam mount only supports the front of the
engine.
The rear engine support is provided by a adjustable strut
that
runs from "someplace" on the back of the engine to "someplace" on
the
firewall.
Hi
Jerry,
Can you post a picture
that shows an example or two of an "adjustable strut". As pictured,
it looks like there would still be quite a bit of weight on the rear of the
engine, so the strut can't just be a trivial piece. Goodness knows that if
this evolved on the other list, it's been engineered way beyond my tolerance,
but I just can't quite picture what you have in mind for the rear support.
Doesn't Atkins also use
a beam system like this? I seem to recall that he used to sell the
beams, but you were on your own to make the mount. Could be wrong about
that.
Cheers,
Rusty (hanger roof is
fixed, no more raining in the hanger)
